It does not appear to be working for me right now, I get "error loading exercises".
What are your thoughts about the wger project [0]? It is a FLOSS AGPL-licensed self-hosted fitness/workout/nutrition manager that has existed for almost a decade (I think?) It's a django app and has a companion flutter app that runs on android/ios/windows/linux/macos. It supports multiple users and could even be used to run a gym. Body.build [1] is a newer FLOSS project (also browser-based) that is focused around building a weight lifting program. The author of body.build also contributes to wger.
I'm using wger in my homelab and while there are a lot of moving pieces to the self-host process, it works well. I'd say the biggest limitation is the comprehensiveness of their exercise database, but that is something that many people have recognized and are steadily expanding. If anyone is willing to contribute exercises (and exercise media) to this AGPL licensed project, they would definitely appreciate it!

- riedel 1y agoI got the same error.
- surgomat 1y agoYes totally unexpected! It is fixed right now. Traffic spiked and my backend rate limits kicked in too hard. Thanks so much for trying it out
- gonzalohm 1y agoI'm still getting the same error
- surgomat 1y agomaybe some weird cache?? sorry about that é_è... cannot see the error anymore in the logs
- entropie 1y agoStill.
- surgomat 1y agoWe recently (a few hours ago) switched providers to handle the traffic/databse better. Everything should be back to normal now Really appreciate your patience and thanks again for giving the app a try and sorry again guys.
- ElijahLynn 1y agoI'm seeing the error too as of now.

- Kovah 1y agoI just tried Wget the other month and sadly can't recommend it. The UX of the website is horrible, and their mobile app is a buggy mess (at least on iOS). No matter if I wanted to start a workout, edit weights for an exercise, or browse previous session, the app kept crashing, hanging and logging me out. I am now using LiftLog which does everything that I need. FOSS too. https://github.com/LiamMorrow/LiftLog https://github.com/LiamMorrow/LiftLog It's interesting that fitness and weightlifting are pretty common these days, but there are so few non-commercial applications out there that are usable and well maintained. At least that's my perception after digging through dozens of Github projects.
- bdunks 1y agoHave you paid for the AI Planner, and if so, can you recommend it?
- Kovah 1y agoNo. I indeed paid a human to set up a training plan and show me how to correctly execute the exercises. Highly recommend that to anybody starting with weightlifting. There's so much you can do wrong.
- sanderjd 1y agoHow did that work? Did you have to sign up to a subscription at a gym and use a personal trainer there?
- Kovah 1y agoYes I have a gym membership and they offer sessions with a personal trainer for a flat fee per hour. Talked with my trainer, told him what I wanted to achieve and he wrote a basic plan based on that. Then we went around the studio and he explained all exercises and how to do them properly.
